Only sysops can delete articles, but you can request that they do so:

[edit] Requesting a rename or deletion

• To request a rename:
  • Edit the article, insert this text, and save the article:

    {{rename | newname=what you want it to be}}

  • Be patient; one of us will notice it eventually. If it is urgent, you can send us email or leave a note on our user talk pages, e.g., User talk:Efinch.

• To request a deletion:
  • Edit the article, insert this text, and save the article:

    {{delete | why=reason for deletion}}

  • Be patient; one of us will notice it eventually. If it is urgent, you can send us email or leave a note on our user talk pages.
